Bus/Financial - Management
German term or phrase: Vorläufe zu Verlagerungen
"Die Lagerbestände waren in 200X ein kritischer Faktor. Sie lagen über dem Planziel und konnten nicht angepasst werden wegen Vorläufen zu Verlagerungen."

This is from a report following a works council meeting with management representatives - this sentence is from a synopsis of the financial year (where the question of relocation looms large). Can anyone explain to me what exactly is meant by "Vorläufen zu Verlagerungen" here?

Many thanks
